For the last few weeks, we have really been focusing on doing the dishes every day. We have 7 kids and so each one has a night they are responsible to get all the dishes done. They have to do them before they can eat the next day (food is a great motivator at our house).
I usually help the older 4 do the dishes on their night, but they take the bulk of it, but that leaves 3 nights that Trip and I are responsible for it, since Zelda, Julian and Harvey really can't do them. (I do try to have Harvey help on his night though).
This has been some amazing peer pressure. The other night after a long day, there were all the dirty dishes, we just wanted to go to bed, but we couldn't not do the dishes. They kids knew that it was our day. We had to do them.

I'm sure the next day you were glad to wake up to clean dishes :-)
